Wendy Kay Knorr

She was born Feb. 18, 1952, in Scranton, and was a daughter of Joseph A. and the recently deceased Jane L. (Kuhn) Smith.

Wendy would have celebrated her 27th wedding anniversary with her loving husband, Kevin I. Knorr, on Feb. 14.

She is survived by her three daughters: Julie Pierson of Blooming Grove; Sarah and her husband, Brett Schagelin, of Newton, N.J.; and Talli Knorr, still living at home; one sister, Karen L. Martin and her companion, Jerry McDonald, of Hawley; and four grandchildren, Aiden Pierson, Hannah Schagelin, Asher Schagelin and Gavin Pierson-Niles.

Wendy graduated from Wallenpaupack High School in 1970. She and Kevin attended Pocono Lake Wesleyan Church every Sunday. She was always caring for the injured or sick as a volunteer or employee for Tobyhanna Township Ambulance, Pocono Mountain Regional Ambulance and Barrett Township Ambulance.

She was known by everyone she knew for her artistic ability and kind heart. Wendy made many beautiful gifts full of love for her family and friends throughout her life. She also loved to read and could be found curled up in the late hours reading from her Nook.

Wendy loved all kinds of animals and her home was always filled with a menagerie of pets. No stray animal that came within her reach would be homeless for long. She will be greatly missed by many.

Fulfilling Wendy's request to not have any services, a private dinner will be held by her family to celebrate her life.
